Oh my. I was going to start a similar thread, but focused on the entertainment system. OP was focused on AP which I also agree is far from complete so let's start there... for me, red light and stop sign stopping is a must and I see no reason why it's not known to be planned.
If the lawyers would sign-off on such feature.
Probably not until autonomous is ready in 2 years EST.
Lawyers are fine with stopping, it's a good thing for safety so no worries there. I'm pretty sure it's coming and in contrast with S4WRXTTCS I'm betting it will deliver some rather entertaining headlines.
And if you're thinking about city / residential streets, ignoring what 7.1 has overtly stated, there are plenty of highways and freeways that have red lights and stop signs.
My thought is they will focus their time on finishing up the 3-series. There may be a dry spell with updates.
Hopefully not... as with the MX, I can see no reason why M3 would not start with the existing codebase. Though they may go for a smaller less expensive screen, or 2 screens, the hard work is (mostly) all done.
Though after being reminded in this thread of so much beta code everywhere and unfixed and totally missing features, well maybe a re-write isn't such a bad idea after all... at least of some stuff, like the entertainment stack. Re-writing code is A Good Thing.
In addition to the features already noted, I think we can expect automatic speed changes based on the posted limits / sign reading in a future release.
Ya, it's bizarre that right now it can't at least slow down whenever it reads a lower sign -- I'd like to see this as an option of course (I want options please not hardcoding. It's not at all hard to add and manage). But even better, go to my set speed relative to the speed limit when I want you to, please, car, and maintain that as the speeds change. Perhaps there are safety / legal issues but as I said above, at least slowing down is safer and should be 100% Tesla Legal Dept. friendly... even if we have to intervene to accelerate it's a no-brainer and will be a nice addition.
There will be a major UI overhaul (wait, no, that was 7.1). There will be an SDK (wait, that was 5.0). There will be decent navigation that takes wind speed and temperatures into account and allows different routes, including speed recommendations (no, that's 6.0).
Oh my, so funny if not so very alarming... this is a freight train of marketing madness, but wow what a wild ride.
It's clear Tesla Motors requires a better bug tracking system. Pretty clear it doesn't exist, or is post-it note based. We should not have to "dream" that the trip planner will not panic new drivers, or to have the ability to add a navigation waypoint to a trip. Oh my indeed...
On the other hand, I'd rather get a beta version (ie: Autopilot) versus other manufacturers (Mercedes, Volvo) that test their code for years before releasing it (and they're still not that impressive).
Yes that is true and it's why I sort-of get it. In essence we are all beta testers. And new stuff is shiny and fun, for us too. I am willing to overlook so many little things because today the very minimum of my miscellaneous requirements are met (calendar integration, traffic-aware navigation, bluetooth audio streaming), and some of the major issues like the Nav don't seriously impact me personally (I try to use nav as a suggestion system). But I can see how there are possible hazards to inexperienced Tesla drivers. The silly "end to range anxiety" update scared the crap out of me on my first road trip when I was far from home (or a plug).
Then, offer a faster CPU upgrade, I'd buy it.
Ok now you're just preying on the weak :biggrin:
Lastly fix all the other stuff mentioned herein, otherwise your competition will do it for you.
And boom goes the dynamite
